I have ONE problem with all these supposed Obama skeletons..he's gay, he's a Muslim, he sold drugs..etc..

The Clintons. If any of the stories were remotely true, had the slightest bit of credibility, the Clinton operatives would have found it in 2008, and used it. There are plenty of ways for them to have gotten the story out and still kept their hands clean..they are masters of political warfare..

The Clintons tried to use the selling cocaine story in '08 via a nasty hint along the lines of "Well, there may be these stories out there about Obama selling cocaine and the Republicans would certainly use those stories against him in the general election." The press quickly trumped that with the handy race card and even the Clinton-minions backed off immediately.

Of course, McCain was too much a wimp to use it, and to be fair, it probably would have backfired. Romney's use of it now is right, let it be known that the campaign won't use the story. That gets the basic story (Obama sold drugs) out anyway while appearing to be above the fray.
